For those who don't care about the QMI support through libqmi-glib, or if you're
stuck with glib 2.30 (libqmi-glib requires 2.32), this configure switch allows
disabling the QMI support completely.
The logic to detect cdc-wdm ports is still in place, but the QMI probing is
never launched at them. Also, all QMI-related objects won't be compiled.
This is the port to git master of the following patch:

core: add function to open probe ports without removing echo
Some devices (Sierra GSM ones) return stuff we need but don't
bother to prefix it with <CR><LF>, so we need to optionally turn
off the echo removal at probe time.
Some devices may export cdc-wdm ports talking AT. We need to explicitly check
for QMI protocol support on the cdc-wdm ports before assuming they are QMI.
Make port roles more flexible. We have modems that do PPP
on interfaces other than the primary interface, and that
wasn't possible with the old code. So clean up all that
logic and move the port organization code into the core
so we can reduce code in the plugins.
In the new world order, the plugins say whether the port
is a QCDM port, an AT port, or ignored. If it's an AT
port the plugins get to tag it as primary, secondary, or
PPP, or any combination of the 3. This allows for modems
where PPP should really be done on the secondary port
(Huawei E220, Sierra devices) so that the primary port
stays open for command and status.
After all ports are grabbed by the generic classes, they get
"organized", which assigns various ports to the roles of
PRIMARY, SECONDARY, DATA, and QCDM based on specific rules
and hints that the plugin provided (which are expressed as
MMAtPortFlags).
The plugin code is responsible for determining the port
hints (ie MMAtPortFlags) at probe time, instead of having
a combination of the plugin and the modem class do the
job. This simplifies things greatly for the plugins at
the expense of more complicated logic in the core.
This is the port of commit 96505d42ed62327101dcee7c2bf31177b0bb1c9f
to the 06-api branch.
The new `mm_port_probe_cancel()' will cancel the probing operation currently in
progress, if any. Note that we don't need to pass any argument to specify which
operation to cancel, as there can only be one.
The new method `mm_port_probe_run()' will run the whole probing process
asynchronously. Result of the probing can be later obtained with
`mm_port_probe_run_finish()'.
